A micro-grid consists of four main units: production unit , unit of storage, contoles systems and consumers. To size an adequate storage system, we need specific consumption patterns that goes with those micro-grids.
Please does anyone have a source to have such information?
The deliverables of EU projects "microgrids" and "more microgrids" may help you.

The following link gives some examples of microgrid load profiles :

thank you again for the links, they are very helpful to me.
I noted two points that I wanted to share:
Profiles given by these links are theoretical and do not cite sources. comparing it with profiles obtained on the net its alike.
(http :/ / www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S037877880700223X)
so, i suppose that this is something more or less standard.
Consumption profiles are profiles of housses. however, most of the sources in relation to the subject cite other types of loads. for example, buildings, businesses, college campuses etc..
Dear Souf Chaib,
Consumption of any grid will depend on several factors.
For example
i. Temperature & Humidity (Fan, Blower, Air Conditioner, room heater etc load)
ii. life style of the inhabitants ( Using pump, machine lights, lifts etc)
iii. Many other important factors.
Similar factors will result in similar consumption data.
Thus, consumption pattern of a micro grid could be predicted from nearest (another) micro grid or national grid consumption. However, national grid has larger load diversity. For this reason, the prediction may vary slightly from the actual one.
